The objective of the present study was to determine the acetylator status of the Bangladeshi population and to compare the findings with the acetylator status of other Asian populations. The acetylator phenotype was determined in 517 unrelated healthy Bangladeshi subjects. The phenotyping procedure was done according to Price Evans' method using the NAT2 specific probe drug--sulphadimidine. The Bangladeshi population showed a bimodal distribution of fast and slow acetylators. Of a total of 517 healthy Bangladeshi, 79.5% (n=411) were fast acetylators and the rest 20.5% (n=106) were slow acetylators. The high frequency of the fast acetylators in the population of Bangladesh was comparable to other populations in East Asia. When this acetylator status was compared with other Asian data, the Asian population showed a positive correlation between the acetylator status and the geographical longitude (r=0.919; t=7.37; p>0.001; d.f.=10). The regression line of the scatter diagram showed that the frequency of acetylating capacity increasingly occurred in the populations towards eastern Asia (regression coefficient=0.54; constant=52.36). This line was termed as the Asian fast acetylator longitude (AFAL). Thus the AFAL was able to predict the acetylator status of the Asian population by the east-west geographical longitude. The AFAL could be a useful prognosticator in the disposition for the effective and safe use of numerous drugs and xenobiotic compounds in humans.

Tourism is a major economic and social activity of the present time. It is the temporary movement of people from their normal place of residence or work, mainly for pleasure. Due to the economic activities involved in the process of tourism, now it is emerged as an industry which is rapidly growing around the World. Tourism is the major source of foreign exchange earnings for many regions of the world. Tourism need to be addressed at the earliest as tourism has positive as well as negative impact on the cultural diversity, social standards, society and environment. The present study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between employment and income generation and tourist arrivals in district Srinagar of Jammu and Kashmir state. The results revealed that tourist arrivals accounts variation in the level of income and employment generation. Thus, tourism development has the potential to contribute to the economy of Srinagar district of Jammu and Kashmir State. Tourism is a major economic and social activity of the present time.

The key objective of this paper is to analyze the trends of India’s soyabean, exports and its directions and way forward. This research work highlighted the post-independence performance of soyabean productivity and changing pattern of crops that pave the way for promoting soyabean cultivation. The present study revealed that India is seventh largest country by area, the second most populous country after China. This work investigates the trend in area production and yield of soyabean in India from 1980-1981 to 2019-2020. The results indicate that expansion of area was continued during whole study period. However, the expansion is higher in soyabean area than that of yield of soyabean. The finding exhibits that the exports of soyabean was highly volatile but increased during given time period. The composition changed from traditional tropical to horticulture and sea foods. The present study has been focused on analyzing demand, supply and export of soyabean in India. This study revealed that United States of America turned out to be India’s biggest soyabean buyers followed by Canada, Belgium. According to data China termed as top importer of soyabean but India’s exports were nominal to China. The analysis also covered the comparative price difference in Indian export verses imports of China during 2020. This paper contributes by providing significant suggestions for improving the market structure for acquiring higher market share. In addition to that this study also provides suggestion regarding, how to create significant opportunities to increase the exports which strengthen the balance of payments position.
